First image confirms new Call of Duty has a man in it

The new Call of Duty game -- being developed by Sledgehammer games -- will feature at least two men.

We can deduce at least that much from a singular image released via IGN.

From the helmet and its facial strap, we can probably even as go as far as to say at least one of them is a military man, while the other seems to have a preference for beanies. Perhaps he doesn't play by the rules, you know? Or maybe he's just bald.

In all likely hood, this bloke is probably more reminiscent of the generic goons you'll see in multiplayer, rather than an actual character.

The image was released by Sledgehammer in talk to demonstrate its character models on the current-gen consoles.

The new Call of Duty game will be cross-gen, but it's heading to PS4 and Xbox One before the last-gen platforms, following Titanfall's lead.
